Abstract:
the review of the approaches employed by police agencies in Ethiopia indicated that agencies faced a number of decisions when designing their activity measurement systems. Decisions in each jurisdiction reflected differences in reporting requirements, as well as other concerns such as the availability of data from existing sources. Output based budgeting seeks to improve the efficiency of agencies by making them accountable for the outputs that they produce. Activity measurement systems record the amount of time that staff spend attending to a range of activities. Activities are defined to correspond with the outputs of the agency in output based budgeting. Information collected for internal reporting requirements is most useful if the activities describe the outputs of the business units or cost centers. Agencies therefore faced a choice of how to specify those activities that most closely resemble the outputs of the agency and the outputs of its business units and cost centers.
